Isaiah 43

1 But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed thee; I have called thee by thy name, thou art mine.

١ وَٱلْآنَ هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، خَالِقُكَ يَا يَعْقُوبُ وَجَابِلُكَ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ: «لَا تَخَفْ لِأَنِّي فَدَيْتُكَ. دَعَوْتُكَ بِٱسْمِكَ. أَنْتَ لِي.

2 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.

٢ إِذَا ٱجْتَزْتَ فِي ٱلْمِيَاهِ فَأَنَا مَعَكَ، وَفِي ٱلْأَنْهَارِ فَلَا تَغْمُرُكَ. إِذَا مَشَيْتَ فِي ٱلنَّارِ فَلَا تُلْذَعُ، وَٱللَّهِيبُ لَا يُحْرِقُكَ.

3 For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy saviour; I have given Egypt as thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.

٣ لِأَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ قُدُّوسُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، مُخَلِّصُكَ. جَعَلْتُ مِصْرَ فِدْيَتَكَ، كُوشَ وَسَبَا عِوَضَكَ.

4 Since thou hast been precious in my sight, [and] honourable, and I have loved thee; therefore will I give men for thee, and peoples for thy life.

٤ إِذْ صِرْتَ عَزِيزًا فِي عَيْنَيَّ مُكَرَّمًا، وَأَنَا قَدْ أَحْبَبْتُكَ. أُعْطِي أُنَاسًا عِوَضَكَ وَشُعُوبًا عِوَضَ نَفْسِكَ.

5 Fear not; for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west;

٥ لَا تَخَفْ فَإِنِّي مَعَكَ. مِنَ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ آتِي بِنَسْلِكَ، وَمِنَ ٱلْمَغْرِبِ أَجْمَعُكَ.

6 I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back; bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the end of the earth;

٦ أَقُولُ لِلشَّمَالِ: أَعْطِ، وَلِلْجَنُوبِ: لَا تَمْنَعْ. اِيتِ بِبَنِيَّ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ، وَبِبَنَاتِي مِنْ أَقْصَى ٱلْأَرْضِ.

7 every one that is called by my name, and whom I have created for my glory; I have formed him; yea, I have made him.

٧ بِكُلِّ مَنْ دُعِيَ بِٱسْمِي وَلِمَجْدِي خَلَقْتُهُ وَجَبَلْتُهُ وَصَنَعْتُهُ.

8 Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears.

٨ أَخْرِجِ ٱلشَّعْبَ ٱلْأَعْمَى وَلَهُ عُيُونٌ، وَٱلْأَصَمَّ وَلَهُ آذَانٌ.

9 Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the peoples be assembled: who among them can declare this, and shew us former things? let them bring their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is truth.

٩ «اِجْتَمِعُوا يَا كُلَّ ٱلْأُمَمِ مَعًا وَلْتَلْتَئِمِ ٱلْقَبَائِلُ. مَنْ مِنْهُمْ يُخْبِرُ بِهَذَا وَيُعْلِمُنَا بِٱلْأَوَّلِيَّاتِ؟ لِيُقَدِّمُوا شُهُودَهُمْ وَيَتَبَرَّرُوا. أَوْ لِيَسْمَعُوا فَيَقُولُوا: صِدْقٌ.

10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he; before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.

١٠ أَنْتُمْ شُهُودِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَعَبْدِي ٱلَّذِي ٱخْتَرْتُهُ، لِكَيْ تَعْرِفُوا وَتُؤْمِنُوا بِي وَتَفْهَمُوا أَنِّي أَنَا هُوَ. قَبْلِي لَمْ يُصَوَّرْ إِلَهٌ وَبَعْدِي لَا يَكُونُ.

11 I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.

١١ أَنَا أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ، وَلَيْسَ غَيْرِي مُخَلِّصٌ.

12 I have declared, and I have saved, and I have shewed, and there was no strange [god] among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and I am God.

١٢ أَنَا أَخْبَرْتُ وَخَلَّصْتُ وَأَعْلَمْتُ وَلَيْسَ بَيْنَكُمْ غَرِيبٌ. وَأَنْتُمْ شُهُودِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَأَنَا ٱللهُ.

13 Yea, since the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it?

١٣ أَيْضًا مِنَ ٱلْيَوْمِ أَنَا هُوَ، وَلَا مُنْقِذَ مِنْ يَدِي. أَفْعَلُ، وَمَنْ يَرُدُّ؟».

14 Thus saith the LORD, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and I will bring down all of them as fugitives, even the Chaldeans, in the ships of their rejoicing.

١٤ هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ فَادِيكُمْ قُدُّوسُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «لِأَجْلِكُمْ أَرْسَلْتُ إِلَى بَابِلَ وَأَلْقَيْتُ ٱلْمَغَالِيقَ كُلَّهَا وَٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ فِي سُفُنِ تَرَنُّمِهِمْ.

15 I am the LORD, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.

١٥ أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ قُدُّوسُكُمْ، خَالِقُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، مَلِكُكُمْ.

16 Thus saith the LORD, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;

١٦ هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْجَاعِلُ فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ طَرِيقًا وَفِي ٱلْمِيَاهِ ٱلْقَوِيَّةِ مَسْلَكًا.

17 which bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power; they lie down together, they shall not rise; they are extinct, they are quenched as flax:

١٧ ٱلْمُخْرِجُ ٱلْمَرْكَبَةَ وَٱلْفَرَسَ، ٱلْجَيْشَ وَٱلْعِزَّ. يَضْطَجِعُونَ مَعًا لَا يَقُومُونَ. قَدْ خَمِدُوا. كَفَتِيلَةٍ ٱنْطَفَأُوا.

18 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.

١٨ «لَا تَذْكُرُوا ٱلْأَوَّلِيَّاتِ، وَٱلْقَدِيمَاتُ لَا تَتَأَمَّلُوا بِهَا.

19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now shall it spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

١٩ هَأَنَذَا صَانِعٌ أَمْرًا جَدِيدًا. ٱلْآنَ يَنْبُتُ. أَلَا تَعْرِفُونَهُ؟ أَجْعَلُ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ طَرِيقًا، فِي ٱلْقَفْرِ أَنْهَارًا.

20 The beasts of the field shall honour me, the jackals and the ostriches: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen:

٢٠ يُمَجِّدُنِي حَيَوَانُ ٱلصَّحْرَاءِ، ٱلذِّئَابُ وَبَنَاتُ ٱلنَّعَامِ، لِأَنِّي جَعَلْتُ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ مَاءً، أَنْهَارًا فِي ٱلْقَفْرِ، لِأَسْقِيَ شَعْبِي مُخْتَارِي.

21 the people which I formed for myself, that they might set forth my praise.

٢١ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبُ جَبَلْتُهُ لِنَفْسِي. يُحَدِّثُ بِتَسْبِيحِي.

22 Yet thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou hast been weary of me, O Israel.

٢٢ «وَأَنْتَ لَمْ تَدْعُنِي يَا يَعْقُوبُ، حَتَّى تَتْعَبَ مِنْ أَجْلِي يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ.

23 Thou hast not brought me the small cattle of thy burnt offerings; neither hast thou honoured me with thy sacrifices. I have not made thee to serve with offerings, nor wearied thee with frankincense.

٢٣ لَمْ تُحْضِرْ لِي شَاةَ مُحْرَقَتِكَ، وَبِذَبَائِحِكَ لَمْ تُكْرِمْنِي. لَمْ أَسْتَخْدِمْكَ بِتَقْدِمَةٍ وَلَا أَتْعَبْتُكَ بِلُبَانٍ.

24 Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices: but thou hast made me to serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities.

٢٤ لَمْ تَشْتَرِ لِي بِفِضَّةٍ قَصَبًا، وَبِشَحْمِ ذَبَائِحِكَ لَمْ تُرْوِنِي. لَكِنِ ٱسْتَخْدَمْتَنِي بِخَطَايَاكَ وَأَتْعَبْتَنِي بِآثَامِكَ.

25 I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake; and I will not remember thy sins.

٢٥ أَنَا أَنَا هُوَ ٱلْمَاحِي ذُنُوبَكَ لِأَجْلِ نَفْسِي، وَخَطَايَاكَ لَا أَذْكُرُهَا».

26 Put me in remembrance; let us plead together: set thou forth [thy cause], that thou mayest be justified.

٢٦ «ذَكِّرْنِي فَنَتَحَاكَمَ مَعًا. حَدِّثْ لِكَيْ تَتَبَرَّرَ.

27 Thy first father sinned, and thine interpreters have transgressed against me.

٢٧ أَبُوكَ ٱلْأَوَّلُ أَخْطَأَ، وَوُسَطَاؤُكَ عَصَوْا عَلَيَّ.

28 Therefore I will profane the princes of the sanctuary, and I will make Jacob a curse, and Israel a reviling.

٢٨ فَدَنَّسْتُ رُؤَسَاءَ ٱلْقُدْسِ، وَدَفَعْتُ يَعْقُوبَ إِلَى ٱللَّعْنِ، وَإِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى ٱلشَّتَائِمِ.
